About

A short game about gambling with your life, literally.
A shady gameshow host challenges you to a few hands of Black Jack. If you beat him your life gets extended. If you lose? Well, you die.

CaOrJavier30 Apr 2019, 17:19

Blackjack but with a twist, I like it. I always betted the most life I could. Gotta take risks you know

Hyperbian Games30 Apr 2019, 19:37

I love that your game is feature complete. It felt like a full experience, albeit a common one. The into animations and art was awesome. Great complete game.

Love blackjack. Very cool how you implemented the theme into a classic game while not changing the game itself.

JofersGames30 Apr 2019, 19:49

really cool idea :)

@hyperbian-games thanks a lot. We had had trouble in earlier jams trying to complete what we set out to do. Decided to bite off only as much as we could chew - seems to have worked out well :smile:

Xankill3rauthor30 Apr 2019, 20:09

@krammetje thank you :smile:

Xankill3rauthor30 Apr 2019, 20:10

@sadzanenyama thank you :smile:
Hope you got to see the death ending as well :stuck_out_tongue:

Xankill3rauthor30 Apr 2019, 20:10

@backwardscap thank you :smile:

I remembered the general rules about blackjack (not go beyond 21...) ut I had to look up a few specifics (the values of the jack, the queen the king and the ace) I has forgotten, it would be good to remind you of this in game ^^
Besides this, it worked nicely and adapted pretty well to the theme :)

@inferture thank you for your feedback :smile:
We'll keep a simple tutorial/cheat sheet in mind for our next game.

Haha! Nicely done. One of my favorite little quips is satan hiding among commoners with the incredible cover name "Stan".

Xankill3rauthor1 May 2019, 15:32

@blobo :laughing: yup. Got the idea from the new Periphery album "Periphery IV : Hail Stan" :metal_tone2:

I like blackjack. I like the art. Solid submission!

yearnfulNode1 May 2019, 18:00

okay, this is impeccably made, and even by bumbling around not knowing how to play blackjack i had fun. a very complete game for a ludum, and GOD that gameshow host gives me the jeebies.

Fluffy_Kaeloky1 May 2019, 18:00

Gameplay at his center is classic and simple, but well executed. A nice little story to go with it and a bit of polish, and you get a nice entry. Great job !

Rancoud1 May 2019, 18:01

What you can improve:
* explains rule of blackjack, I don't know them

Xankill3rauthor1 May 2019, 18:07

Thank you @spiffy , @yearnfulnode , @fluffy-kaeloky
@rancoud thank you for your feedback. It was wrong on our part to assume we could get away without having to explain the rules. We'll keep that in mind for future jams :smile:
